Greens and Grey

Hey Folks!
I went to the mall today with my dear friend Dominique for some last minute Christmas shopping and window browsing. She and I have been friends since 7th grade and I haven't seen her in a few months! It was so nice to catch up on what's been going on in our lives and walk around the mall like old times.

Since we were going to the mall I decided to wear something more casual. Lately I've been obsessed with beanies and I go back and forth between this comfortable grey boyfriend slouchy one from Asos and a slouchy neutral colored one. Today was a milder day in Pittsburgh so I opted for this hunter green anorak instead of my enormously large puffy jacket, which I think really compliments the grey beanie. I tied it together with a pair of green booties and this Aztec printed cardigan.

Thanks for checking in! I hope you're all having a wonderful Tuesday and enjoying winter festivities!

Happy December!

Today is the last day of my Thanksgiving "vacation" from work. It has been both relaxing and eventful, and I realize I have so much to be thankful for. Ian came over on Wednesday, once the snowstorm had stopped, and just left this morning. We spent Thanksgiving day at his family's house and then Friday we drove to my parent's house and got to visit and eat with them. While we were home we got to play with my energetic pug and sweet little kittens!!! Friday night we went to see Ian's childhood friend who was visiting from NYC, drank a lot of wine and listened to a lot of Kanye and Smashing Pumpkins. Ian and I also spent this break by watching a mixture of good and terrible films (Safety Not Guaranteed vs. Troll 2) and I had the pleasure of seeing him sculpt in his dad's studio!! Seeing the people we love most and sharing the experience together was really special and left me feeling eternally grateful to have such beautiful, genuine, and understanding people in my life.

This is the outfit I wore to my Mom's house. It has been freezing cold outside recently so I've been wearing a lot of knee-high socks to keep my feet and legs extra warm. I just received this slouchy beanie from ASOS a couple weeks ago and it's been the perfect winter accessory...it keeps me warm AND my hair in place when it's especially windy outside. Personally, I love buying neutral colored hats or thick scarves so I can pair them with almost anything. The other accessory I've been obsessed with lately are these gorgeous vintage beetle earrings. I love the creepy/pretty vibe they give and I adore the tear-drop stone shape. I think they add a cute but funky flare to any outfit.

I hope you all had a lovely holiday!!
